Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Most of these people appear to come from Musk’s various companies. Wired declined to publish the names of two of the people because of their age. One graduated from high school last summer.

19yo Musk employees are running the government now?

Can't believe I'm arguing against the privacy of a teenager, but if this kid is old enough to commit social murder by ending medical and food aid to millions, he's old enough to be a hated public figure.

if you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to be the target of public ridicule for fucking over hundreds of thousands of federal workers

I mean, this person is NOT old enough to legally drink in the u.s. The drinking age is 21.

Not saying they don't deserve consequences for being a little Nazi to the top Nazi.

the other person who Wired chose not to name is a 21-year-old who used to work at Palantir

His briefing notes were written in alphabeti spaghetti

Could be they're 17 since they didn't want to publish their name/age and they just graduated high school?

Either way, sounds right that Musk would be hiring teens.
